PASTRY CRUST

2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup (6 ounces) butter, cold, cut in cubes

Ice water, as needed

Combine flour and salt. Add butter and quickly cut into flour mixture until it is the size of peas. DO NOT over mix or dough will be tough. Add just enough cold water to hold the dough together without it being wet. Wrap in plastic and set aside in the refrigerator until needed.
